Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 2 each Ribeye steak About 1.5 inches thick
  • 1.5 tsp Kosher salt
  • 1 tsp Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil For searing
  • 2 clove Garlic Crushed
  • 2 sprig Fresh thyme
  • 2 tbsp Butter

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat your oven to 225°F (107°C).
  • Season both sides of the ribeye steak generously with kosher salt and black pepper.
  • Place the steak on a wire rack set over a baking sheet and put it in the preheated oven.
  • Cook until the internal temperature reaches 125°F (52°C) for medium-rare, about 20-30 minutes.
  • Heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet over high heat until just smoking.
  • Add the steak to the skillet and sear for 1-2 minutes on each side until a brown crust forms.
  • Add butter, garlic, and thyme to the skillet, and baste the steak with the melted butter for extra flavor.
  • Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Resting the steak after searing allows juices to redistribute for a more tender bite.
